Pregnant and Nursing Support Thread

I thought I'd start up a support group, for those of us pregnant, with an older nursling. If you are pregnant at the moment or tandeming or have done in the past and want to add your support, please post!

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and have a 2 and a week year old. One of the first things I noticed about being pregnant was my nipples felt bruised like she'd bitten me. 8 weeks later not much has changed and I'm still spending every feed saying "gentle please".

Someone please tell me it gets easier!

I'm also starting to feel quite full and hard.

I keep getting told by my family I'll have problems tandem feeding hmm "and how many mothers do you know who have done it?" My dad was grilling me the other day about tandeming and when I'll stop Tink nursing. He's a radiographer. I made him agree with me grin "Well, you know yourself that when the adult teeth come through because they're in a totally different order to the milk teeth the jaw changes shape" "Yes and around the same time the soft spot in the jaw fuses" "That change makes it impossible for them to continue nursing, that's why they got called milk teeth" lol how could he argue when he'd just backed my argument up!

My DD has missed one day of nursing in 3.2 years and that was when I was in labout in hospital with her younger brother !!!

lol Mawbroon. It does all sound encouraging. Dd has never missed a day except if we've been parted (almost never, except when I was being induced with ds).

Have given up with name changing btw, so am out as HappyAccident.

Thanks for putting a call out for cheesemonster BE.

DS has a really yukky cold/cough and is having trouble nursing. He only had a couple of sooks tonight then announced that he wasn't going to try to do milk until he was better.

It is making me think that he is nearly there.

But I've been saying that for about 2yrs!! shockgrin

Mawbroon, That lasted as long as expected !!!

HA, I have put a call out for Cheesemonster here I am wondering how things went for her third baby and how many she is nursing now (somewhere between 0 and 3, I am guessing...LOL)

Your ds sounds so sweet Mawbroon!

You're right BE - it was cheesemonster. She posted about being pregnant whilst tandem feeding. She hasn't posted for a few months though, so not sure if she's still around.

Well, he lasted long! First thing this morning he asked for milk. I reminded him of our conversation last night, and he said he wanted it anyway.

He has about as much willpower as me!!

DS was feeding at bedtime tonight, and he just sighed and said "I wish there was lots of milk". I told him that there will be lots when the baby comes, and he said "I know, but I want it NOW".

I asked him about the "special milk" (colostrum) and he said that there wasn't enough of it, and he didn't really like it. He then said he was going to stop until the baby and the real milk arrive shock

I asked what I should do if he asks for milk before then, and he said "just say yes!!"

Sounds like the wee soul doesn't actually know what he wants!!
